It allows drivers from up and down California, Oregon and Washington to compete over the two nights of racing. The roster is a who’s who of winged 360 racing. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg, Aromas Justin Sanders and Paradise’s Kyle Hirst have collectively been the best when it comes to winning main events in Northern California. They will be joined by Sean Becker, Roseville, who just picked up the big win at the Placerville Speedway Nor Cal Posse Shootout on Saturday night. Fremont’s Shane Golobic, defending champion, Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Sacramento’s Willie Croft, Minden, Nevada’s Tanner Thorson and Hanford’s DJ Netto.
